He was host of several sports shows over the years. He hosted LSU football's pre and post game shows in the 1980's. He was a sports reporter for WJBO and was student sports editor of the daily Reveille. He also hosted a sport talk show on WIBR in the 1990's. I'm sure many on the Rant knew him..

How old was he?

Listened to him when he subbed some in the 90's sports talk on WIBR.
Seemed like a good guy and loved LSU.
I believe his family owned Rushing Flooring. Please correct if wrong.
Prayers for his family.

That is correct, his family is in the flooring business.

Went to Catholic High with Bryan. Very good guy. Where did you see or hear he passed?

Back in the early days I thought he was the best. He sort of got bitter in the end for some reason and seemed to resent being on the radio, but when he tried he was good.
RIP Bryan.
RIP Bryan.

was the best radio host on wibr. he knew his sports. sad to hear this

Back in the day, hecertainly was the most professional, and polished of those that had their own shows.
He didn't pretend, you could tell he knew his stuff. He was a terrific sports fan.
I believe he quit radio to run the family business after his dad passed away. Someone please correct me here if I'm wrong.

I remember him.
RIP and prayers for his family. Not extremely old guy, I would guess in his 50's.

Rest in peace Bryan

Didn't he get an opportunity to host a late night national show? I remember him giving it a try but not lasting very long.....he definitely was good at sports radio.
Posted on 3/13/17 at 8:21 am to AlwaysPutsSeatDown
Damn. I worked with him as his producer for a short time before he left to take over the family flooring business.
He was a national guy for a while.
